Tomatoes, Tomatoes & More Tomatoes

Whether you grow your own or buy them at the market, tomatoes are everywhere. If you do grow your own, you may be offering them up to friends and neighbours because they’re coming in faster than you can eat them.

I thought I’d share a couple of simple ideas on serving up your fresh tomatoes while they are in abundance.

So here are some simple & fab ways o serve up your tomatoes. You can use red, orange, yellow, heirloom, cherry or grape. If you use cherry or grape tomatoes, then you may prefer to leave them whole or halved rather than quartering or dicing them. I like to halve them as it allows the delicious juice from the tomatoes to combine with the other ingredients.

3) Bruschetta: Dice tomatoes very small. Add in some fresh chopped or torn basil leaves. Add salt & pepper to taste & toss with olive oil. Balsamic Vinegar is optional (if you use, don’t overdo it or the tomatoes will get “lost”. Serve with dried or toasted rounds of baguette & whole, peeled garlic cloves. Rub the garlic on the bread and top with tomato mixture. Heaven.
